I would like to host my own web server with a domain name I purchased but my public IP isn’t static.

I’m using DuckDNS, it has a plugin for pfSense / OpnSense.

I use DuckDNS. There’s been only one outage for the ~2 years I’ve been using it and it’s free. I also use DuckDNS to acquire the SSL certificates for the reverse proxy.

I also use duckdns, but in the last year it went down like twice or something. Its good but not really reliable.

I pay an extra £1 a month to my ISP to get a static address. Figured it’s well worth having no hassle.

If you only need public access to things like HTTP or SSH you don’t necessarily need to run dynamic ip and just setup Cloudflare Tunnels. So far I haven’t needed to put anything public that doesn’t run on the provided tunnels.

Where are the settings for these tunnels located in Cloudflare? I was looking around the website last night but didn’t have any luck.

Look under the Zero Trust category and then once there you’ll see another menu item called Access. There you’ll find Tunnels, in addition to Tunnels you can add an Application in the same Access menu to create policies that only allow certain clients to connect.
